Fwd: Scilla peruviana

Pam:
I would make sure when dividing that there is basal plate attached to any bulb material.

Hi-
Thought I'd better ask you how to separate bulbs of Scilla peruviana. My
two clumps of four and nine are on very thick basal plates and I'm
wondering if the I can just snap them off - or does each bulb need to be
attached to a piece of that plate? I've looked but haven't found this
information elsewhere.
Could someone also tell me whether the roots can be dry during dormancy
(answer to the first question might answer this one)?
Thanks much,
